This chapter traces the history of Pickens’s Presbyterian and Huguenot ancestors as they migrated from Scotland to France, back to Scotland, to Ireland, Pennsylvania, the Shenandoah Valley, the Waxhaws region of the Carolinas, and finally to Long Cane, near Ninety Six, South Carolina. The Pickens’ migrations were driven by the search for religious freedom and economic opportunity, and everywhere they went they participated in the establishment of churches, legal institutions, and militia companies. This chapter also describes the Calvinist religious doctrine and world view of these Scotch-Irish Presbyterians and their frontier communities.

The Law

This chapter examines some of the different considerations that one should bring to examining religion in contexts of state-legal institutions. It considers the complex political histories and motivations that inform the creation and interpretation of laws governing religion, including the laws protecting religious freedom. It argues that it is helpful to think of the law–religion nexus in terms of four aspects: the links between state law and religious law; the religious history of state laws; the religious presuppositions inherent in state law; and the politics associated with creating and litigating laws concerning religion. It also explores how legal and religious traditions adapt and respond to each other: religious traditions alter themselves to conform to the categories of state law, while judges and legislators periodically alter parameters of what counts as religion.

The emergence of the violence issues concerning religious doctrine is separated from the increasing of the cases of the intolerance in Indonesia. It is for that reason that the discourse about pluralism and plurality of religion becomes the interesting topic. Briefly, the two words above have the same meaning for its similarity in their original form that is “Plural”. However, empirically, those two words have the basic difference then it is added by the word religion in the end of the word (suffix). If the plurality of religion is meant to be the variety of religions, then the meaning of pluralism changes to be the uniformity of religion which eventually arising polemic in Indonesia. Plurality of religion is an unavoidable phenomenon from God.(Sunnatullah). This writing tries to explain how the the Qur’an “speaks” about the tolerance in the plurality of religion and the principles of religious freedom in Islamic perspective.

The Right

This paper traces the history of the philosophical and political justification of religious tolerance from the late 17th century to modern times. In the Anglo-Saxon world, John Locke’s Letter Concerning Toleration (1689) gave birth to the doctrine of the separation of Church and State and to what is now called secularization. In France, Pierre Bayle refuted, in his Philosophical Commentary (1685), the justification of intolerance taken from Saint Augustine. Following him, Voltaire campaigned for tolerance following the Calas affair (1763), and the Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789) imposed religious freedom which, a century later, resulted in the uniquely French notion of laïcité, which denies religion any supremacy, and any right to organize life in its name. Equality before the law takes precedence over freedom: the fact of being a believer does not give rise to the right to special statutes or to exceptions to the law.
